Write speed problems with my DVD-R...PLEASE HELP!!!

\015 I'm going crazy and can't get any answers anywhere. I need help because I'm stupid when it comes to this stuff. SOMEONE PLEASE!!! I have the Toshiba Satellite M45-S355 laptop. The problem I am having is with the DVD-RW drive. It is a DVD-RAM and multi-drive burner. It only burns DVD's(no matter if -R or +R) at 2x speed though it is SET and much capable to write at faster speeds. This also goes for burning audio CDs as well. It can burn up to 24x speed but it takes almost 45 minutes to burn one disc!!!!! \015\012\015\012If this helps...it is a Mitshita DVD-RAM UJ-831S.\015\012\015\012First...I don't understand what the check box in the drive's recording properties is asking "Enable CD recording on this drive"?????\015\012\015\012Second...does anyone know what burning software works best for this burner????\015\012\015\012Third...is it a DLA file I need, or firmware, or do I have to do something in Windows to fix this problem????\015\012\015\012THANK YOU TO WHOEVER TAKES THE TIME TO READ THIS AND HELP. I NEED HELP PLEASE!!!\015

Answers :

Alright its time to fix tis...\015\012\015\012First...I don't understand what the check box in the drive's recording properties is asking "Enable CD recording on this drive"?????It is another Feature that is provided for your DVD burner harware device,(you will understand indepth once you come across some thing to use that feature on Your Own) \015\012\015\012Second...does anyone know what burning software works best for this burner????\015\012Nero is one of the Most commonly used Burners and there are Trial Versions available for Free for you to download and use it.besides that you can try softwares like Roxio,SONIC and ay more...\015\012\015\012Third...is it a DLA file I need, or firmware, or do I have to do something in Windows to fix this problem????I dont think you will need any of those because the 24X is the Max speed for your DVD burner you can adjust the Burning speed by being able to Adjust the setting from you DVD software(which entirely Vary from Software to software)
